Traditionally people aren't allowed to touch a Royal unless one offered their hand
Kate Middleton broke royal protocol during a visit to Southport on Thursday. The Princess of Wales made a surprise visit with her husband to meet the bereaved families of the Southport stabbing victims. The unannounced trip to Merseyside was William and Kate’s first official outing together since the princess completed her course of chemotherapy treatment in the summer.
After spending around 90 minutes with the families they walked the short distance to Southport Community Centre where they joined emergency responders involved in the attack to hear about their experiences and meet health practitioners supporting the “blue light” community in Southport. Traditionally people aren't allowed to touch a Royal unless one offered their hand. However, during today's visit, Princess Kate hugged several of the emergency responders.
